📋 About This Mod
What is this?
This is going to be a collection of new energy weapon models mostly, with the main goal of covering everything that was in fallout 3.
Why make this?
Cause idk making guns was getting old so I decided to start on energy weapons.
Whats in the mod?
Currently all this mod covers is just the plasma pistol, plasma rifles and laser pistol (which was made by Deranged Tangerine). Laser rifles and more are coming soon :)
How to install
INSTALL THE RESOURCE FILES FIRST. If you have TTW installed download that, otherwise use the FNV one. ONLY USE ONE FILE NOT BOTH TTW AND FNV, ONLY USE ONE. Once downloaded just like any other mod, drop this into your MO of choice and it should be pretty self explanatory. If you have Real Time Reflections installed you'll need the patch. You will need to also grab ISControl otherwise your sights will be misaligned.
If you followed a guide such as VNV or TBOT you should be all good to just download and go, just make sure that this mod overrides NVAO. If you've not followed a guide make sure that you have XNVSE, JIP and KNVSE, I'd also ask you to check out VNV/TBOT if this is your first time modding FNV.
So to quickly summarise how to install;
-
[]XNVSE - JIP - KNVSE[/]
[]ISControl[/]
[]MCM Extended[/]
[]Resource file[/]
[]Either TTW or FNV file[/]
[]The RTR patch if needed[/]
[]Make sure it overrides NVAO files[/]
[]Go back and endorse everything :)[/]
What is left/next?
Basically the rest of the energy weapons, even the funny alien ones.
Credits!
This section is probably going to grow by quite a bit;
[]Hitman and Rockbiter for lending me their animations for all there guns, I heavily suggest using NVAO if you like there stuff[/]
[]TTW team for the purple goo and projectile effect[/]
[]TPOl7uHKA for the cube map and panorama image, they initially helped me a lot in understanding how to make them.[/] <

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community trust with 463 endorsements backing it.
- Massive download count (190k+) shows real demand for new energy weapons.
- Recently updated — the authors are still supporting it.
⚠️ Cons
- Potential compatibility issues with other weapon mods since it's a model replacer — test with your load order.
For Fallout 4 players who want fresh energy weapon visuals without overhauling gameplay. If you're a collector of weapon mods or just tired of the vanilla laser/plasma looks, this is worth a shot. Skip if you need lore-friendly or balanced additions — this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to handle installation and load order automatically.
- Check the mod's file structure after install to ensure it's not overwriting other weapon mods you have.
- If you're on PC, make sure to enable mods in your Fallout 4 ini files (bInvalidateOlderFiles=1) for textures to load properly.
